History YMMV / LetItBe

* VindicatedByHistory: The 1970 Music/PhilSpector mix was originally derided as overproduced and missing the point of the original recordings, which were created with the intention of making a RevisitingTheRoots album. However, decades later, it now spoken of more fondly by a considerable amount of Beatles fans and critics, who feel that the Spector mix is good in its own right. Music/JohnLennon himself being a fan of the Spector mix certainly helps.

** The ''Get Back'' documentary's scene of Paul, incredibly stressed and tired despite the day not even having ''started'' yet, hammering out the main structure and melody of "Get Back" while waiting for John is becoming one. For people in the creative industries it's a fairly nuanced and relatable depiction of when trying to make art feels like squeezing blood from a stone and for the people outside those industries the fact that Paul was able to create the song ''in spite'' of these circumstances makes him, and the band as a whole, look better for pulling through all this and making some genuinely great music.

* SignatureScene: The entire rooftop concert at the end of the film, if only for the fact that it was the very last concert the Beatles ever did; to this day, it remains such an iconic element of popular music history that it's still a common subject of parodies and pastiches, ranging from a homage by Music/{{U2}} to a parody by ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.

* {{Applicability}}: Paul's mom was the inspiration for the "Mother Mary" lyric from "Let It Be". When asked if the song referred to the Virgin Mary, [=McCartney=] has typically answered the question by assuring his fans that they can interpret the song however they would like.

* {{Anticlimax}}: Many critics and listeners considered the album as a whole to be this for The Beatles' career. The [=NME=] famously dismissed it as "a shabby epitaph, a cardboard tombstone". Although the album rarely succumbs to full-on FanonDiscontinuity, there is something of a BrokenBase over whether it or ''Music/AbbeyRoad'' should be considered their true "final album", as ''Abbey Road'' was the last to be recorded and is viewed by many as a more fitting finale.

* TearJerker: The film is this at several points, as quite a few scenes show this legendary rock band quarrel among themselves to that point that they can no longer stand each other, after all the magnificent art they have created together and the world they changed.

* CriticalBacklash: For decades this album was considered to be the least ''good'' Beatles album. However, with the passing of time it has been partially VindicatedByHistory as not as bad as some people make it out to be.
